Polo Explodes To Category 4

ManzanilloPolo jumped from tropical storm to 130 mph hurricane.

Guerrero and Michoacán face flooding and landslide risk though the storm may stay offshore.

Record-warm eastern Pacific waters let storms gain strength faster than forecasters can track, the pattern behind Otis devastating Acapulco in 2023.

The National Hurricane Center says Polo may reach Category 5 by Wednesday before turning northwest offshore.
